Publication number: 20230351652Abstract: Vector format based computer graphics tools have become very powerful tools allowing artists, designers etc. to mimic many artistic styles, exploit automated techniques, etc. and across different simulated physical media and digital media. However, hand-drawing and sketching in vector format graphics is unnatural and a user's strokes rendered by software are generally unnatural and appear artificial. In contrast to today's hand-drawing and sketching which requires significant training of and understanding by the user of complex vector graphics methods embodiments of the invention lower the barrier to accessing computer graphics applications for users in respect of making hand-drawing or sketching easier to perform. Accordingly, the inventors have established a direct vector-based hand-drawing/sketching entry format supporting any input methodology.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 10, 2023Publication date: November 2, 2023Inventors: TONY SEVERENUK, PAUL LEGOMSKI, TEKIN OZBEK, THOMAS JACKSON, BOBAN BOGDANIC, ANDREW STACEY

Publication number: 20150100882Abstract: OpenType fonts have become a standard with desktop published with over 150,000 fonts available each potentially comprising up to 65,535 characters and even more glyphs. Accordingly it is difficult for anybody to know the endless combinations for every font or even a significant subset of these OpenType fonts. At present users must go through a series of trial and error modifications to observe the fonts inherent design variations to find either the one they want or determine that the font is not appropriate. Embodiments of the invention in contrast provide users with a solution wherein the appearance of the characters and/or glyphs is first determined by the system and then presented to the user. Based on the appearance of the characters the user can then select the appearance they desire and the system determines which features are required for that appearance and proceeds accordingly.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 19, 2013Publication date: April 9, 2015Inventors: Tony Severenuk, Claude Peloquin, Pauline Branigan, Neville Wai Chun Ko
